Yes, the Anti-Monitor!
If Skeletor's costume is indeed a nod to his benefactor, then the costume change is temporary and entirely organic (As in, part of the plot). Which is fine. And it means there's no reason to complain about it. It would be like complaining about the time Spider-man wore a bag over his head for one issue. It just doesn't qualify as a major design change in the character.

Yes you've said that numerous times already. We get it u hate DC's canon of MOTU. Do you really think your opinion will change DC's direction? Seems with all the feedback DC is still moving forward and changing more and more of the original MOTU. So really it's kinda pointless to mention the same things over and over again. If your not a fan of DC's canon that fine it's not everyone's cup of tea.

We get Teela's blonde hair turned to red with NO explanation as to why, Teela's terrible reaction to Mekaneck surviving was explained and now Teela seems to be getting toned down in attitude. Hell, even her skimpy costume was changed. Fans thought that it was too revealing while everyone else is covered up, especially He-Man.

He-Man's new costume might get by because some casual fans want to see him with pants on, while hardcore fans might hate it. Older fans might be intrigued for a few issues.

Skeletor's look might be temporary. I can't see him continuing on without a jaw. As soon as he gets his ass kicked in issue six, he might revert back to "normal".

As others have mentioned, I get an Anti-Monitor vibe. It's possible Skeletor is infused with the Anti-Monitor's essence via some form of magic (or something of that nature) and that is part of the reason for the DC cross-over into the MOTU universe.

Skeletor's had numerous variations in costume over the years (good and bad), and while this isn't my personal favorite I suspect this is one of them specific to the plot of this story.

Exactly! God-Skeletor is not one of my favorite incarnations. That was just a "powered up" version that didn't resemble Skeletor (Gold with a Shokoti-esque headdress).

Long Live He-Man in any canon..... Not crazy about the design but as of late I think one thing dc has right is making Skeletor bigger than He-Man . Skeletor should always be a threat . I just want DC to get the personalities of the characters right.. & show why He-Man is the Most powerful (man) in multiple UNIVERSE'S!

I'd agree with you if this were the first time they'd changed something to, imho, horrible effect. But there's a pretty long, growing list of this kind of change that many of the fans don't won't or like. And if this is just a temporary outfit, it would be ok as long as Skeletor was returning to a costume the fan base was more or less on board with. But I don't think that's true either.

I agree with you on this. 200x wasn't a departure from what we'd known before. NA was a departure. All this new DC stuff feels, to me, to be a departure, not an evolution.

I don't agree. Skeletor is a threat as a magic user to a primarily physical fighter--a wizard shows up to a sword fight and throws fireballs and lightning bolts. He-Man has strength and battle prowess, but he lacks the variety of things that Skeletor can do. A great way to see this is how powerful Evil-Lyn was in the second episode when Ram Man and Mekaneck were running up on her and she nuked them with a spell.

Filmation doesn't equal Vintage designs. Filmation is a more simplistic version of the more detailed Vintage designs, while 200X was an even more detailed version of the Vintage designs.
